Founder of GirlZ, a youth marketing consultancy focused on helping brands better connect and engage with today's youth, Maddie Bregman has worked with some well known brands including Gatorade, NFL, Nickelodeon, PepsiCo, Burger King and Chipotle. Her professional journey began in 2017 with a connection she made with a single cold email. Since then, motivated by that initial success, she has consciously curated and refined techniques for crafting cold emails that cut through the noise and get noticed. Then, in 2020, Bregman gave a TEDx talk titled “The Power of the Cold Email,” highlighting how cold emailing had shaped her career.

As I wrote recently, one of the biggest myths about the Great Resignation out there is that it is, basically, just a fight about remote work.
